Drought intensifies human-wildlife conflict by pushing carnivores closer to people

Periods of drought significantly increase human-wildlife conflict in California, with the strongest effects observed in carnivorous species. Conflict reports rise as precipitation declines and peak during the warmest, driest months of the year.

Cryo-EM reveals how proteins are protected during synthesis

Proteins are often called the building blocks of cells, but even those building blocks need to be built. One of the most important steps in the process of building proteins is glycosylation, when sugar molecules (glycans) are attached to the maturing protein.

Trial investigates how quickly human milk responds to common plant based meat swaps

Replacing beef with a plant based beef substitute for six days changed the fatty acid composition of human milk, increasing medium chain saturated fats and lowering key long chain polyunsaturated fats such as arachidonic acid. These biochemical shifts occurred without changes in maternal weight, appetite, glucose patterns or infant milk intake.

Deformability helps cancer cells squeeze through tight tissue gaps, study shows

Aggressive cancer cells are masters of movement. When they spread through the body, they cause metastasis, which significantly reduces a person's chance of survival.
